Create a Pull-Down Menu

Concept

Procedure

Quick Reference

You can create a pull-down menu, add a submenu, and add commands on the Customize tab of the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor. The process is very similar to working with toolbars and flyouts with only minor differences.

You can add and modify commands on menus. As you modify the positioning of standard commands on menus, the online Help system is automatically updated to reflect the change through the Dynamic Help feature. For more information about how Dynamic Help affects customization, see How Customization Has Changed.

NoteWhen you create a menu, you should determine in which workspaces you want to display the menu in. By default, a new menu is displayed in all workspaces.
